A&P II: A Microbiology: A Intro to Nursing: A Congrats to everyone finishing the semester! Grades are looking good! :balloons:

i know what you mean! this is my second day with no classes and i'm feeling kind of lost! hahaha! i could start some christmas shopping, but i'm dreading the long lines. arrrrgh! congrats to everyone who survived the class! it's over! yay!

i have my first lab practical on monday and the lecture exam next friday. it's just on the blood and heart. thank goodness it's only two chapters! :) good luck to those taking exams!!!!

what are you guys covering? i'm finishing up my second week too. we finished blood and now starting the heart. we get to dissect a sheep's heart on monday. fuuun! :)

whoa! just 32? how many do they accept in total? my local CC accepts 60 each semester and about 120 apply. i think of that 60, 20 slots are for 'lpn to rn' students. uggggh! i won't know until january. :uhoh21:

same here! i was pretty surprised. this is my first prereq with that many pre-nursing students.

I started A&P II today. :) We're starting with Blood. Lab was fun! We spent the whole time identifying different types of leukocytes. Thank goodness the practical will be actual pictures from microfilms and not slides where you can't even tell if...

i know what you mean! i started reading the chapter on blood and i've been re-reading the same darn three pages for the past week!

wow! kudos to you for taking 16 credits this summer! i was looking at my lab manual and it starts off with blood (ch17), but if we continue right after a&p I it would be the endocrine system...who knows!

ahahah! i love that! too funny!

i start micro on the 28th (t/th). the lab manual was the only required text, but that photo atlas by alexander and a micro textbook by bauman were both listed as optional. i got all three! i'm super excited! thanks for the helpful info, ♪♫ in my ♥!

sounds great! :) i'll let you know my schedule when i get my syllabus. have you started reading yet? how do saturday classes work anyway? how many hours is that?

I got my lab manuals from the school bookstore on Monday. I already started reading them! I ordered my textbooks online and they arrive Wednesday. I can't wait to start reading ahead. Hahaha! I sound like a huge nerd when I say that to family/friends...

For me, it all depends on the professor's teaching style. I love PPT slides that I can just print out and add my own notes. When a professor already has notes that I can download and print out, I find no use for a notebook.
